Zang Toi talks losing model at the last minute to Marc Jacobs’ show

Designer Zang Toi had a fashion emergency at his Pier 59 show when one
model canceled at the last minute, having booked a competing job with
Marc Jacobs.

“It is a little frustrating during casting,” he told us.

“Her agent canceled on me because Marc Jacobs wanted her — so that is life. The night before my show.”

Toi added of the snafu, “We want the girls, but the agency may cancel on
you at the last minute. If Marc Jacobs wants the girl, then they feel
he has to have it. I am not mad at Marc; it all worked out for the
better.”
